Business Wire
Linedata Services (NYSE-EURONEXT: LIN), today announced it
formed a strategic partnership with UAT, Inc., a Denver-based
technology and consulting company, to provide the industry�s first
pre- and post-trade compliance, real?time reporting, and brokerage
cost savings system for sub?advised investment platforms.
Organizations utilizing external asset management, including
insurance companies, pension plans, bank trust groups, 401(k)
providers, mutual fund companies, foundations, and endowments, have
historically lacked comprehensive oversight and controls over their
sub-advisors. The current market environment demands stricter
regulatory supervision and greater cost savings from these types of
firms, and UAT provides them with an elegant solution to both of
these challenges.
�Linedata has collaborated with UAT to offer a truly
comprehensive solution for pre-trade compliance, real-time
reporting, and brokerage cost savings,� says Annie Morris, Managing
Director for Linedata Services North America. �The integration of
UAT�s industry-leading technology paired with Linedata�s
comprehensive trading and compliance solution offers sponsor firms
greater fiduciary oversight and the potential for dramatic cost
savings.�
UAT�s Unified Compliance and Control System (�UCCS�) is offered
exclusively through Linedata�s Application Service Provider (�ASP�)
delivery and includes Linedata Services� award-winning LongView
Trading and Linedata Compliance. This partnership offers superior
regulatory control and enhanced governance through real-time,
rules-based, pre- and post-execution compliance. The integration of
Linedata�s LongView OMS with UAT�s patent-pending proprietary
High-Low Engine (�HLE�) significantly decreases trade brokerage
costs by identifying �high-touch� orders that require special
handling and �low-touch� orders that do not require special
handling, enabling a sponsor firm to execute more trades through a
low-cost brokerage network.
�UCCS is the answer to a deficiency the sub-advised industry has
battled since its inception in the mid-1970�s,� said Tom Warren,
President of UAT, Inc. �Our turn-key system, paired with Linedata�s
robust front-office solutions, provides peace of mind, particularly
to the sponsor firm�s Chief Compliance Officer and Trustees, who
have a fiduciary responsibility for these assets. The potential to
monitor real-time positions and lower brokerage fees can result in
millions of dollars in cost savings annually for a sub-advised
trust.�
